Solders

Soldering is a process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal (solder) into the joint, the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal. Soldering differs from welding in that soldering does not involve melting the work pieces. In brazing, the filler melts at a higher temperature, but the work piece metal does not melt. In the past, nearly all solders contained lead, but environmental concerns have increasingly dictated use of lead-free alloys for electronics and plumbing purposes.

Belmont offers a range of high, medium, and low temperature soldering alloys to meet a variety of different needs.

Tin-Lead solders is the largest single group and the most widely used of the soldering alloys . Tin-Lead solders are compatible for use with all types of base metal cleaners, fluxes, and heating methods. 60/40 Tin Lead solder, almost the eutectic is particularly adaptable to delicate work or when soldering temperature may be critical. This particular item is a soldering bar weighing approx. 1 Lb. with dimensions of approx. 3/4" wide x 1/4" thick x 14" long.

This Solder has good corrosion resistance and tensile strength. With a melting range beginning at 390 Deg. F. it avoids causing damage to critical electronics as well preventing substrate deformation and segregation. It is used very often in spray wire form for capacitors and other electronic parts.

Solders such as this can be used to join copper and most copper alloys, lead, nickel alloys and steel. This general purpose solder has a wide melting range used for automotive, radiator, gutter repair and electrical applications. Can also be offer in various wire diameters as well.

This particular item comes in 1/16" Diameter and can also be offered in other sizes as well. This is also a quick setting solder for fine electrical and tinsmith work.

This solder is primarily used for soldering Aluminum to Aluminum or Copper usually where lower soldering temperature than Zinc-Aluminum solders is required. It is used extensively in spray wire from for capacitors and other electronic parts and also has a high tensile strength.

This is a Bismuth based Eutectic low melting alloy used for tooling and production aids. It provides you with easily castable material that is ready for use as soon as it freezes. This alloy can be recovered easily and recycled into new uses a number of times. It is mainly used in the optical industry for lens blocking when grinding glass, plastic lenses and optical components. It's low meeting point allows it not to distort the glass or plastic which it supports, Also can be used for proof casting as well. In comparison to its 117 Deg F. counterpart this alloy does not contain Cadmium.

This is a Bismuth based non-eutectic alloy commonly used as a low-melting solder and also to make custom shaped blocks. It is also used to make metal inlays in wood and also useful for repairing antiques as the low melting temperature of Wood's metal makes it unlikely this will harm the original piece.
